Bungalow in the Jungle (Rescue Mission!)The West Asheville Bungalow on the left was almost completely hidden by plants which had been poorly placed, and the yard was overgrown with poison ivy and several other invasives. The concrete walk to the front door was broken and nearly impassable due to the growth (and poison ivy!). There were quite a few nice plants, but some of the larger trees and shrubs were diseased. First, we removed the invasives and poison ivy, and then translplanted the healthy plants to better spots in the yard, and removed those that were unable to be saved.

Next, the broken concrete sidewalk was removed and the entire yard was properly graded terraced. The walk was then replaced with a faery-tale stepping stone path (a cute cottage like this one just begs for one one!) Other features such as a gravel bed/rock garden were installed, and existing plants were properly pruned. The result is much more open and inviting, and the owners are no longer afraid of their yard!The pictures below are from another angle, taken from the parking area to the left of the house.​
